Antarctica's Long Night

A New Zealand newspaper reported that one of the last shipments to a USA research base in Antarctica, before the onset of the dark winter, contained 16 500 condoms.

Talk about being frozen stiff ....

Probably keeps them dry and protected from frostbite. Hang in there, guys, spring will come again.

Didn't think there were that many people living in Antarctica, I was always under the impression its a couple of hundred maximum, so that's a lot activity going on
